gstreamer-sharp

gstreamer-sharp is a .NET/mono binding for Gstreamer generated from gobject-introspection data using the bindinator. gstreamer-sharp currently wraps the API exposed by Gstreamer 1.12 and is compatible with newer gstreamer versions. It was developed under GSoC 2014 for the mono organization. gstreamer-sharp covers the core and base gstreamer libraries.

Prerequisites

These libraries are needed for clutter-sharp to compile:

gstreamer core, base and good 1.4 or higher
gtk-sharp 3.22.6 or higher - NOTE: This can be built as a meson subproject if using the meson build system.

You will also need various .NET/mono bits (mcs and al). On debian-based distros you can install these with:

sudo apt-get install mono-mcs mono-devel

Building & Installing

meson build && ninja -C build/

HACKING

While hacking on the code generator or the .metadata files, you will need to force code regeneration with ninja update-code, a full rebuild is triggered right after.

Updating to new GStreamer version

Make sure bindinator is installed on the system

Make sure you are in an environement where latest .gir files are available (either install or through the $GI_TYPELIB_PATH env var).

ninja -C update-all

Verify newly generated code and git add files in sources/generated/ and ges/generated
Commit

Supported Platforms

Linux
Mac OS X

Quick Start

gstreamer-sharp provides ports of all samples from gst-docs in the samples folder.

Documentation

Since this is a gobject-introspection binding the recommended documentation is the native gstreamer documentation. A monodoc generated documentation will be installed.

Roadmap

Add an easy way to compile on Windows
iOS and Android support
Provide binaries for these platforms
